DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cooling device for a television set in a bathroom installed in a bathroom of a general household or a bath which can be used for steam bath which has been increasing recently.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, the cooling fan 2 provided in the television storage box 1 causes self-heating of the television main body 3 (heat generation of components in the main body) and temperature rise due to heat generated by the steam 5 from the steam discharger 4. The air in the television storage box 1 is exhausted to the outside of the bathroom ceiling 7 through the exhaust pipe 6.

[0003] The air is sucked from the air 8 between the bathroom and the outer wall of the building (hereinafter, this air is referred to as outside air) through an air suction unit 10 opened in the back plate 20 of the rear opening of the television storage box 1. I was inhaling.

A cooling fan driving controller 9 is provided below the television body 3, a lower ventilation port 11 is provided at a lower part of the television body 3, and an upper ventilation port 12 is provided at an upper part thereof. The exhaust guide 13 is provided above the space at an interval.

FIG. 4 shows two kinds of air flows.
One of them is forcibly forced by the cooling fan 2 into the air intake section 10.
The outside air 8 that has been sucked in is discharged from the rear portion of the television body 3 through the exhaust guide 13 to the ceiling via the exhaust pipe 6. The other air flow is through the lower air vent 11 of the TV body 3.
The air enters the inside of the television body and is discharged from the upper ventilation port 12 while cooling the heat-generating components in the television body, and is discharged from the exhaust guide 13 to the outside of the ceiling through the exhaust pipe 6.

[0006]

In a conventional cooling device for a bathroom television, a long exhaust pipe is used, so that the cost is high and a large hole for the exhaust pipe needs to be formed in the ceiling of the bathroom. Was troublesome.

[0007] In the suction part, the lower ventilation hole of the television body and the air suction part of the back plate are almost at the same height, and the suction efficiency is not good. Further, since the exhaust portion has a space between the upper vent of the television main body and the exhaust guide, the heat-generating components in the television main body are not efficiently cooled.

[0008]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an air intake portion of a back plate is added to an intake portion below a lower air vent of a television body, and an air intake portion of the television body is provided to an exhaust portion. The exhaust guide portion is provided in close contact with the upper ventilation hole of the first embodiment.

In addition, a long exhaust pipe is eliminated, and an exhaust hood section in which a small-diameter exhaust pipe is branched from a wall in two directions of a bathroom corner wall is provided above a television storage box.

[0010]

According to the above construction, the efficiency of suctioning air into the television main body and the efficiency of exhaustion thereof are increased, so that the heat-generating components in the television main body are efficiently cooled by the cooling fan.

[0011] In addition, it is not necessary to drill a hole in the bathroom ceiling, which facilitates the installation and reduces the cost.

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

The same parts as those in the conventional example are given the same numbers. A back plate 20 is mounted in the TV storage box 1 in close contact with the TV main body 3, and the back plate 20 is provided with an air intake section 17 not only on the side surface but also on the bottom surface. The corner wall 14 on the back of the TV storage box 1 has a plurality of openings 15
Is provided as an intake for the outside air 8. A cover 21 and a mask 22 are attached to the front surface of the television box 1 for waterproofing, fogging prevention and damage prevention.

An exhaust hood 16 is integrally mounted on the upper part of the television storage box 1, and a plurality of small-diameter exhaust pipes 19 are branched on the upper part of the exhaust hood 16 so as to face the corner wall 14. Are screw-connected to an exhaust port 23 opened in the corner wall 14, respectively.

In FIG. 1, the air intake portion 17 is located below the lower air vent 11 of the television main body 3, and the exhaust guide 18 is attached to the periphery of the upper air vent 12 of the television main body 3 in close contact therewith. As a result, there is no gap with the television body 3, and all the cooling outside air 8 passes through the inside of the television body 3, so that the cooling efficiency is remarkably improved. FIG. 1 shows the flow of the outside air for cooling. The outside air 8 is sucked into the television storage box 1 from the opening 15 of the corner wall by the cooling fan 2 through the air intake unit 17 on the side and bottom of the back plate 20 by the cooling fan 2. From the lower vent 11 of the main body 3, the air passes through the inside of the television main body, passes from the upper vent 12, passes through the exhaust guide 13 and the exhaust hood 16, and is discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe 19 through the exhaust pipe 23 of the corner wall 14. You.

With the above arrangement, all the air sucked by the cooling fan passes through the inside of the television body. Further, since the distance between the air intake section 17 and the exhaust port 23 is large, a short circuit does not occur.

[0017]

As is apparent from the above description, the provision of the air intake section below the lower air vent of the television main body facilitates the outside air to enter the television main body, improves the air intake efficiency, and improves the air intake efficiency of the television main body. Since the exhaust guide is provided in close contact with the periphery of the upper vent, all air passes through the inside of the television body, thus improving the exhaust efficiency. Therefore, the heat-generating components in the television body can be efficiently cooled by the cooling fan.

A large exhaust pipe is eliminated, and a small-diameter exhaust hood section is provided on a bidirectional wall of a bathroom corner wall integrated with a television storage box, so that the space in the bathroom can be widely used. It can be effectively used in a space where small articles to be used in a bathroom are put. Also, the workability is improved because the part to be constructed is at a lower position. Further, by branching in two directions, even when one of the wall surfaces of the corner portion is blocked by the wall on the building side, there is another surface, and the television can be cooled.
